Comrade Ioffe is not supplied with an official Soviet mandate, but all comrades, members and collaborators of our mission, in accordance with party discipline, must carry out all those directives and orders which Comrade Ioffe finds it necessary to issue according to the circumstances of the matter.

A final decision will be adopted by the Central Committee upon receipt of a report from Comrades Ioffe, Gukovsky, Solomon, Sedelnikov, and Yakubov.

With comradely greetings,
by order of the Politburo of the Central Committee

A. S. Yakubov — member of the NK RKI, was sent to Reval for an audit of affairs in the mission.

² On 23 October 1920, with the participation of A. A. Ioffe, an agreement was worked out on the work of the plenipotentiary representation of the RSFSR in Estonia. It indicated that "in accordance with the decision of the SNK... the sole representative of the RSFSR in Estonia is the plenipotentiary representative I. E. Gukovsky and all relations with the Estonian government and authorities must be conducted exclusively through him, or, with his knowledge, in the established procedure." This agreement consisted of 8 points regulating the relations of responsible workers of the mission, and was directed at the establishment of normal relations between the mission's collaborators. In November a plenum of the Central Committee of the RCP(b) heard a report by G. V. Chicherin on the situation in Reval after A. A. Ioffe's visit and a decision was adopted: to recall from Reval Comrades Gukovsky and Solomon.
